CHARLES CORNELIUS HULL, OF WILLIAMSBURG, NEW YORK. Letters Patent No. 88,876, dated April 13, 1869.

- MECBANISM FOR TRANSMITTING- MOTION.-

hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which willenable others skilled fin the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingpdrawings, forming part -of this specification.

This invention relates to a new and improved combination of mechanical appliances, as pendulum-levers, wheels, working-beam, and cranks, whereby power is applied and transmitted from one to the other in a very advantageous manner, and whereby I am enabled to change a rotary from a pendulum motion, with a great increase of speed, for the propulsion of machinery, and forall purposes to which the combination and improvement is applicable;

In the accompanying plate of drawings- Figure 1 represents'a side elevation .of lthe engine, showing the side which .bears the rst, or actuating pendulum.

vFigure 2 is an elevation of the lopposite side of the engine, showing the method of transmitting the power from one section to another.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents the rod` of the pendulum, by which motion and power are imparted in the first instance.

B B represent the frame to which the moving parts of the engine are attached.

C is the bed-plate, upon which the frames of the sections stand.

In this example of my invention I show an engine of two sections.

D represents the rstand E the second section, but

it will be seenk that the motion and power may be transmitted from the second to a third and fourth secr tion, and so on, as may be desired, with an increase of lever power or speed.

Motion is imparted by the pendulum to the shaft F, by the gear-wheels g h. The cogs of the two Wheels g hjengage with each other, as shown in the drawing, and give the shaft F a rocking motion,

I is a working-beam on the shaft F, by which motion is conveyed to the crank J by the pitman K.

' This crank turns the y-wheel L, the shaft of which is provided with another crank m, seen in iig. 2.

The power and motion are conveyed from the crank m'to the section 'E bythe connecting-rod N, which is attached to the pendulum O at the point p, where the connection is adjustable, as seen in thedrawing.

This pendulum O is fast on a shaft,.q, and as it oscillates it imparts a rocking motion to the shaft R of the working-beam S, by means of the gear-wheels T U.

The motion is transferred from the workingbeam S by the pitman V, on the shaft W of the fly-wheel X. and the crank Y. v v- It will be seen that a rotary motion is given the dy- Wheels L and Xfor the transmission of power Vand motion to machinery requiring rotary motion. A

The wheel a on the shaft of the fly-wheel X, and the wheel c inthe frame B ofthe section E, are speedwheels, which may be varied in size and multiplied in number to obtain any required speed for driving machinery.

The arm d', on the fly-wheel X of the .section E, is for transmitting the power and motion to other sections of similar construction, which may be added to any required extent.

I do not, of course, confine myself to the particular proportions of the engine as given 4in the drawing, my object being merely to show the general plan I have invented for transmitting power and motion.

The method of transmitting the power of the pendulum and the motion thus acquired from one section to another, and from the section in machinery, have been sufficiently described.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of the pendulums 'A and O with the working-beam S, and the gear-wheels, cranks, and rods connected therewith, lsubstantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

CHARLES O. HULL.
